Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups ice cream base (milk and cream mixture)
- 1 cup sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, fruit, etc.)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure your Ninja Creami machine is clean and ready.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of ice cream base (milk and cream mixture) with 1 cup of your chosen sweetener. Whisk thoroughly until sweetener is completely dissolved.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir to incorporate evenly throughout the mixture.
- If using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped fruit, gently fold them into the base mixture.
- Pour the prepared mixture into a Ninja Creami-compatible container, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze completely, which typically takes 24 hours.
- Once fully frozen, remove the container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine.
- Select the "Lite Ice Cream" or "Ice Cream" setting on your Ninja Creami and process according to machine instructions.
- If the first processing results in a crumbly texture, use the "Re-spin" function to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container for later enjoyment.
Tips
- Choose Your Sweetener Wisely: Experiment with different sweeteners like honey, agave syrup, or sugar alternatives to find the perfect balance for your taste buds.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an even creamier texture, chill your ice cream base and mix-ins in the refrigerator before combining them.
- Don’t Skip the Vanilla: The vanilla extract enhances the flavor, making your ice cream taste even more indulgent. Feel free to use pure vanilla for a richer flavor.
- Mix-Ins Galore: Get creative with mix-ins! From chocolate chips to fresh fruit or even cookie crumbles, the possibilities are endless. Just be sure to fold them in gently to avoid breaking them up too much.
- Proper Freezing: Ensure your mixture is frozen solid before processing in the Ninja Creami. This typically takes about 24 hours, so plan ahead for the best results.
- Re-spin for Perfection: If your ice cream comes out crumbly, don’t worry! Just use the “Re-spin” function on your Ninja Creami to achieve that silky-smooth consistency you desire.
- Serve Fresh: For the best texture, serve your ice cream immediately after processing. If you want to save some for later, transfer it to a freezer-safe container, but be aware that it may harden a bit more.Enjoy your homemade ice cream adventure!
